The inn was very clean and updated! It’s within a block of the beach and there were several options for restaurants around the area. The staff was delightful and helpful. It was a great experience and I plan to go back soon!

Clean room. Good location but it is not on the beach nor is there a beach view. I like that there is no carpet in the rooms. Walla are thin so I could hear people talking in the next room.

A pillow had hairs on it, the bed smelled like sweat and my wife and I couldn't sleep. I complained to the person at the desk, and the manager appologized, and offered a fifty percent discount next time. We will never staty there again. I hope they get their act together...

Would stay again!

We really enjoyed the stay. It was not our intended place but we stayed for the first time due to few vacancies around town and we are very happy. The room and grounds were very clean and the staff was very friendly and accomodating.

Cathy

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was clean and fine just don't expect many amenities. I would recommend booking directly with the motel as they won't work with you on the room if you book third party such as Expedia. We had room #18 which I don't recommend and was told that there was nothing they can do about since I booked with Expedia. Having been a Travel Advisor for the past 10 years I know that's a reason they hide behind not wanting to assist in changing rooms. Not the best customer service but it fit the rest of the experience.

The room was dirty and definitely needs paint. Baseboards, doors, shower all super dirty. Would never stay there again. Way over priced and $50 dog fee. Would not recommend this motel. Also the keys cards were demagnetized after 1 day.

Very nice place to stay

I’ve had a lovely experience staying at this place. The place was very clean. The bed was comfortable, there were inly 3 pillows but you can request for more. The only thing that was a downside was the WiFi. It was very slow and difficult to connect to. But I had cell service so it’s not a big deal. Walk to the beach was 5 minutes and it was the highlight of my short stay.
